    Foulness Island

    Island in Rochford, Essex, England

    Foulness Island is a closed island on the east coast of Essex in England, which is separated from the mainland by narrow creeks. In the 2001 census, the usually resident population of the civil parish was 212, living in the settlements of Churchend and Courtsend, at the north end of the island. The population reduced to 151 at the 2011 Census. The island had until recently a general store and post office. The George and Dragon pub in Churchend closed in 2007, while the church of St Mary the Virgin closed in May 2010. In 2019, the Southend Echo reported plans for the church to be converted into a five-bedroom home. Foulness Island is predominantly farmland and is protected from the sea by a sea wall. The island's unusual name is derived from the Old English fugla næsse, referring to wildfowl. It is an internationally important site for migrating and breeding birds, including pied avocets. During the North Sea flood of 1953, almost the entire island was flooded and two people died. Wikipedia

  2. The House on Foulness. 2nd April, 1919 Dearest Mary, It might seem childish of me to keep writing this diary in the form of letters to you after so many years, but I am still working toward our promise in my own way. Perhaps, by the time I get to Paris, you will already be there — perhaps the streets will no longer be full of dull bureaucrats!

    One major draw for anyone who moves to Foulness is that crime is almost non-existent. The island is guarded 24 hours a day by the Ministry of Defence so some residents reputedly feel comfortable leaving homes and cars unlocked. Local councillor Neil Hookway told the Echo that life on the island has barely changed for decades.
